Vin-Stitch a go-go!


It's been a busy first year at the Vin-Stitch studio, and getting busier all the time. The jobs have been varied - as have the customers. Wedding dresses, ball gowns, tailored suits, liberty print blouses, giant bows, wedding outfits, curtains and PLENTY of alterations have all made their way through the studio or been created at my make-shift pattern table.
My machinery quota grows steadily and as such I've had to move into the largest room in the house to accomodate the work load it brings - so much so I'm on the search for proper studio space!
The next year is pretty much more of the same, but will include some work experience to help shift the work on quicker, it's very time consuming doing every aspect of the process myself and I will need help soon.
Early next year involves more wedding dresses alarmingly - I swore never again after a bad experience a few years back, but apart from one 'glitch' the brides have all been charming, chilled and creative and as such we have made some really beautiful garments together.
There are no words for just how much I love passing the time in my studio - none!
